My knee is sore.
Turns out when you injury your knee playing cricket it's a bad idea to keep playing cricket XD

@Lunarlors34

Ah, yes.

When did you injury it?

Do I have to teach you RICE? (Rest, ice, compression, elevation). If it's been more then 24 hours, replace ice with heat

[Oblivion666]

Knee injuries are the worse. I remember when I believe its called a Ligament in my knee went from my knee to somewhere else. i took a step and down i went XD Of course it happened on the day Madagascar came out and my sister really wnated to see it. So iI toughed it out and afterwards cried like a bitch XD

@Oblivion666

that almost sounds like a dislocation, hope you got it looked at!

[Lunarlord34]

@Caits
Nah I have been injured enough to know RICE XD
I twisted it a couple of weeks ago while bowling, I landed awkwardly and it's been stuffed since XD
I didn't notice it till I needed to bowl either....then proceeded to bowl 8 overs (which is 48 deliveries for those who are unfamiliar with cricket, which means I repeated the action of bowling 48 times and the pressure being placed on the knee after each delivery is I believe 10xyour body mass >.>)

@Lunarlors34

Ah. Sounds like you need to rest it for a while. Repetitive movements like that that put strain on an injury can make things a million times worse, and you could end up tearing ligaments, tendons and more.

Of course, what the hell do I know, I've damaged my ankle because of how many times i've fallen and twisted it.

[Lunarlord34]

@Caits
I know I should rest it...but...I get bored.
I mean I injured a muscle in my back a few months back playing hockey (one game got taken out and slammed back first into the ground and damaged something, before the next game slipped over and stretching out which resulted in a tear in one of my muscles) and I played 4/7 games afterwards despite limping off from those 4 XD
I managed to play through it eventually, but I am terrible at managing injuries. Hamstring injury? No problems. Groin strain? Nah should be right.
Back strain? Eh had worse. Fall off a bike and have my hand bandaged due to nasty gash? I still got the other one guys!
Knee injury? I'll walk it off XD
It's gotten to the point of like very expansive warm-ups before sport (like 30 minutes >.>), wearing compression gear no matter the weather, wearing a back and knee brace along with using heat cream on almost every inch of my body XD
And to think....I ain't even 20 yet XD

[Lunarlord34]

@Caits
Then again I am stumped on knee injuries, I mean coming back from muscle injuries mean I just need to adjust my warm-ups and stretch more or something.
Then with knees...how do you stretch a knee? I am baffled O_O

I wrote up the int check if ur interested in reading it. Please forgive the shameless promotion though.

@Caits

*wails* my lower back hurts

[Lunarlord34]

@Silver Fox
Ice it.
If in doubt, ice lower than the pain.
If memory serves you ice the lower back, and apply heat to the upper back.

@Lunarlors34

Me too

Except I'm 24. I have knee problems, ankle problems, my back problems aren't bad lately (no incident for a year and a half!) neck problems and now wrist problems

and I wear compression bandages and carry around a first aid kit

Google knee stretches and knee strengthen exercises

I shall check it out shortly!

@Silver Fox

Aw

huggles

What did you do to make it hurt? Can you get over the counter muscle relaxers where you are? We have one that you can get here called voltarun rapid it's the less concentrated for that you don't need a prescription for. You can also try heat bags (you know those bags full of wheat you can heat up). And rest

@Lunarlors34

I always hear my lower back. Ice never works for me. And the muscle relaxers are just awesome

[Lunarlord34]

@Caits
I find icing it for 15 minutes every hour at night before bed, along with a warm shower, tends to lessen the pain. Then again it's more to lessen swelling so if that isn't an issue I am not sure how effective ice is.

@Caits

I've trying to train myself to squat whenever I have to pick something up. Working with kids, everything is so close to the ground so I have to do a lot of bending over to pick up shit. That's really awful for my back so I've been attempting to squat with everything I do involving being close to the floor.

[Lunarlord34]

@Leslie Hall
Don't you know the proper lifting technique?

This was probably the first thing I was taught in my hospitality class and I always forget to do it XD
I bend my knees quite a bit, but I also have a habit of touching my knee to the ground which is apparently bad according to my old hospitality teacher ?_?

[Cello]

@Lunarlors34 I do vaguely remember this. We had to take a few units in Occupational Health and Safety when I was studying to be a teacher's assistant.

It was quite an informative class. Our lecturer was a grumpy old nurse though.

@Lunarlors34

Yeah see I don't know what I do to it, but sometimes I just goes out. There's no swelling at least that I know off, it just basically hurts to move even a cm

An I was 13 when it first happened. So heat was the only thing I tried and it helped

@Leslie Hall

Yeah, and also maintaining a good exercise regimen helps keeps your back muscles...well I was going to say tight but that's not it. Ah. Stretchy? Loose? You know what I mean. Every day after a work experience shift i would go to the gym to loosen everything and stretch it all out. This is a simply one you can do anywhere-use a door frame, place your arms either side of it grabbing it, and step through like you have wings so your arms are behind your back-it really stretches it all out nicely.

I need sleep mow

[Cello]

@Caits Good night~ And yeah, I want to start exercising more. I do a lot of exercise at work but at home I'm kinda lazy.

Hence why I have a personal trainer XD

@Caits@Leslie Hall
Night Caits, and by swelling...I remember there was a proper term but I forget it XD
Inflamed? No that wasn't it. Eh I can remember later XD
And the one my chiro suggest was for me to get on one knee, sorta similar to those who get knighted, and keep the knee on the ground perfectly straight while resting your head on the one pointing up and just learn forward. Oh I almost forgot to mention you should have your hands touching your front foot.
If you feel pain in your back you're doing it wrong XD
You should feel the stretch in the hamstring, but it stretches your shoulder, back, calf, etc. pretty decent stretch and I do it more often than any other stretch.
